WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans have re-nominated Paul Ryan to be House speaker when next year’s GOP-led Congress starts working on President-elect Donald Trump’s agenda.

House Republicans picked the Wisconsin Republican at a closed-door meeting Tuesday.

Some hard-right GOP lawmakers say Ryan has not been a sufficiently aggressive champion of conservative causes. And some ardent backers of Trump’s candidacy were unhappy that the speaker refused to campaign for Trump and clashed repeatedly with him.
